How to virtually hide your IP address
Hiding your IP address can benefit you in many ways. Certain sites are not permitted in specific countries which can make things very annoying when you are trying to use the internet. Websites such as gaming sites, music sites, nudity sites, movie download sites and more are sometimes blocked in certain countries.
Do you have a website that you’d like to view but can’t because its blocked in your country?
Today there are a few ways to hide your IP address. The most common and legal way is to use a VPN (Virtual Private Network). What this does is allows you to connect to an outside server thus using a middle man to re-access the internet. Once you’re connected to a VPN, you can access the web through a different network’s IP Address.
Will this slow down my connection speed?
The answer is sometimes. When choosing a VPN to hide your IP, you want to connect to a server that will be at least as fast as your current internet or it will slow down your speed. When doing research on which virtual private network to do through, try to find one that can offer more than one location to connect through.
How much does a Virtual Private Network cost?
The price of private networks has come down a lot in the last decade, ranging from $50-$200 a month for limited access. Now the prices have dropped and having an account on a VPN usually cost between $10-20 per month to have unlimited access to a outside location to connect to.
What is the Best VPN company to use?
Right now the best company to use is OverPlay. This website is a combination of 100′s of VPNs that can all be found on one website. Because they are such a big company, you are not limited to just 1 or 2 country servers to connect to. This way not only can you always find a 100% fast connection, but you can have to ability to choose between over 25 different countries to be using the internet in.

did you have to buy a contract? I had a vpn before to hide my ip address and they required 6 months up front for service
I have overplay and nah, you can get a VPN for like $10 and go month to month. Hiding your IP addy is easy.
You just click a button to and pick which country you want to connect to. It’s funny because as you are surfing websites and you’ll get ads in different languages, lol.
lets face it, everyone is hiding their ip address so they can look at porn from work & school, lol.
no really? hide in our office, hide from your wife, hide your ip, lol. Just go buck wild on the lawn, no need for all of this hiding bs
or they hide/change their ip addy and then use like 50 different vpns every day to click google adsense ads on their websites. Probably get caught though.
ya, google could probably still see everything even though you think it’s hidden
Ya, I currently use them as well. Before I actually had cheaper vpn company… hide-IP .net or something…but their server was overloaded during the day time. It worked fine for hiding my ip address, but was a pain if I wanted to stay on it for a while and load big pages.
can this be used to hide my ip address at work?
needs to be installed on your computer I believe? Or actually, I think as long as you have an account, you can log into the overplay website and connect through a virtual server that way to hide your ip address
I use overplay, has many uses besides just hiding your ip address. I’m sure you can think of some you wouldn’t really want to advertise as well.
what is the benefit or point of hiding your ip address?
my interent service provider doesn’t allow me to download movies or files from utorrent. If I use overplay to hide my ip address, would my internet company be able tell i’m downloading stuff? Or does hiding your ip address not help for that?
What are the vpn services to use? I didn’t see any other ip hiders listed.
I’ve been using a vpn, or virtual private network for like 4 months now. Pretty useful in my opinion. I’m finding more and more benefits every other day from being able to hide my ip address, and not just that, it’s great to be able to connect from whatever servers in whatever countries that i want.
ya, VPNs are very affortable these days, I remember when they used to be hard to find and way too expensive, now at $10 bucks, that’s a great value.
I just got set up with a VPN, works alright. It seems to be a little slower than my regular internet, but I’m able to do a lot of stuff while I’m hiding my ip address. Any ideas on how to make the connection faster?
There has to be a free way to hide your ip address. Does anyone know of a way to do hide your ip for free?
